excersice & bf=diarrhea?

Hi ladies I'm having a little bit of an issue. DD has been self weaning for about 2 weeks now, she hasn't nursed in 3 days so i decided to start a more intense workout. i spent 90min at the gym,when i got home she wanted to nurse. i took a shower and made dinner before nursing her which took about 1 hour then i let her nurse. less than a minute after she was done she started having diarrhea. i didn't associate it with bf at 1st but this morning when she woke up she wanted to nurse & again diarrhea. idk what is going on if its my bm or something going around but she's not eating solids today. her pedi said to give her pedialyte of course. has anyone experienced this?

Yikes! No, but wanted to say I feel for you and your little one. Maybe it is just a crazy coincidence...like baby has a bug and is pooping after the Breastmilk meal. My girl loves to poop after she's eaten a lot. It's like there's no more room left in her body for it all! Lol

I think your lo just has a stomach bug. Mine had one a few weeks ago and she only got sick (either diarrhea or vomiting) after nursing or diary. With any other food or drink she was fine. Try to get her to take plenty of water or pedialyte to stay hydrated.

Last time my dd had a stomach bug, she pooped after/during each nursing. Her pediatrician told me to stop taking dairy and give my dd soy based formula till dairy is out of my system. I must say that helped almost instantaneously. Hope this helps and your baby gets better soon.

Oh no! Sounds terrible :(. I don't think it would be your exercise. I have exercised vigorously and breastfed (even nursed about an hour after a half marathon) with no ill effects. Hope your little one is better soon!

Thanks ladies for all your help. I've decided to not bf due to the diarrhea. Lo is eating rice cereal,noodles and drinking pedialyte with no diarrhea so for about a week or so we will see what happens.
